We do cost a little more than the competition, but if you want your end users to require no training to use SharePoint offline, synchronize automatically, scale to thousands of users, search and update when offline, and still work when the web content is not SharePoint, then we're the only choice. <em>Paddy Falls, CTO, www.iOra.com iOra software replicates web applications over wide area networks and guarantees offline availability for remote and mobile users in distributed enterprises.</em> Check out the offline SharePoint experience for MOSS 2007 at http://www.iOra.com/hqportal.htm that large organizations have been using since we originally delivered it with SharePoint 2001.

I think that there is a lot of confusion about how much support (or lack of it) for SharePoint offline there is in Office 2007. For example, many people don't realize that most of the SharePoint features have been deprecated in Groove 2007 and that Outlook only supports one-way sync of documents. Neither of these apps support custom metadata or SharePoint views. Thanks very much for mentioning our products. We had many years of experience developing offline collaboration products for Lotus Notes before we developed our SharePoint product line. We know that there are many happy Notes users and have tried to take what we learned from them and apply that to SharePoint. Hopefully, you will agree that we actually do offline "correctly". One final note: We created the matrix that you mentioned, including an analysis of a couple of third party tools, but we don't plan on publishing it. However, if you are interested, drop me an email at sales@colligo.com and I'll see if we can provide you a copy. Barry.

Wait, there is such a product. Lotus Notes has been doing offline applications for well over a decade and it's not a trimmed down version of the on-line application.
